This newly revised and expanded edition of an Artech House classic builds on its success as far and away the most comprehensive guide to digital modulation techniques used in communications today. The second edition adds a wealth of up-to-date, critical material, including: Five new chapters devoted to orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) covering its basics and practical implementation issues: peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction, synchronization, fading channel performance, and mitigation methods, as well as the newest developments such as wavelet OFDM schemes; New modulations for optical communications; Enhanced coverage of M-ary amplitude shift keying (ASK); More accurate bit error rate (BER) equations for quaternary phase shift keying (QPSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM); Enhanced coverage of fading channel mitigation methods such as channel estimate and diversity techniques; Fast-access comparison of all modulation schemes; New appendixes covering trigonometry identities, Fourier transform pairs and properties, and Q-function and error function values.
Peterson's Graduate Programs in Engineering & Applied Sciences 2012 contains a wealth of information on accredited institutions offering graduate degree programs in these fields. Up-to-date data, collected through Peterson's Annual Survey of Graduate and Professional Institutions, provides valuable information on degree offerings, professional accreditation, jointly offered degrees, part-time and evening/weekend programs, postbaccalaureate distance degrees, faculty, students, requirements, expenses, financial support, faculty research, and unit head and application contact information. There are helpful links to in-depth descriptions about a specific graduate program or department, faculty members and their research, and more. There are also valuable articles on financial assistance, the graduate admissions process, advice for international and minority students, and facts about accreditation, with a current list of accrediting agencies.
Annotation Because the wireless industry is less capital intensive than others sectors in the telecommunications marketplace, it is expected to enjoy continued profitability. With survival at stake, telecommunications companies must ready themselves for battle to win access and operations rights in the wireless communications spectrum. This book maps out the strategies required to fight this battle by explaining how a telecommunications company should structure its entry and operations in the spectrum.
